Do a header and exhaust for the most gains...

Go with the intake and exhaust set up, then pick up a pulley. one of the best hp to dollar ratios is a good crank pulley. roughly 5hp for about 100 bucks. check out www.NonStopTuning.com for more info...

bolt up a true long tube header, oh yea doesnt look like anyone is making one, everyone I see seems to have about a 18"-20" long primary, which would be great if you were bolting it to a pro stock bike that would turn 16,000 RPM, the header companies that are building headers for these cars are only fitting 4 tubes between point A and point B, no pulse tuning, no scavenging, no antireversion, somebody needs to start building a true high performance header for the street, you know what I think I might just do that, thanx

Hell yeah, design one! I am tired of all these "performance" parts that are not in the least designed for true performance. The DC header is ok I guess, but I would love to see a properly designed header to maximize its effects.
